Photos: Houston’s history of scoreboards

With the addition of a new 227 feet x 52.49 feet scoreboard at Reliant Stadium, our city remains the King of the Scoreboard.

The city boasts the largest scoreboard in the nation in the NFL and NBA (Toyota Center) and the fourth-largest in Major League Baseball at Minute Maid Park. Also, Humble is believed to have the largest board at a high school stadium, the 50.5-by-18.5-foot board at Humble’s Turner Stadium.

The king of all, of course, remains the Astrodome board, which was 474 feet long and cost $2.1 million, or about $15.6 million in 2013 dollars.

David Barron wrote in more detail about Reliant Stadium’s new scoreboard and Houston’s rich history in today’s Houston Chronicle story.
